Kenya

One of east Africa's most prosperous nations, Kenya has enjoyed comparative economic growth in recent history. Its densely populated southern region, home of cosmopolitan Nairobi, offers many wildlife and cultural attractions while the sparsely populated northern regions offer vast tracts of uninhabited and protected land.

Prices:

The price of every individual itinerary varies. The time of year, type of accommodation and area that you wish to experience can affect the price of your Safari. When you contact us about your preferred itinerary, we'll respond with recommendations and prices. Together we will build the perfect itinerary to match your interests and meet your expectations.

Language:

Virtually all Kenyans speak Swahili, and many speak English (the country's second official language) in addition to the many tribal languages indigenous to local people. Learning a few Swahili phrases will enhance your experience considerably as you interact with different Kenyan cultures.

Safari Types:

Many Kenyan safaris are combined with Tanzanian safaris. Together, the two countries offer a sensational array of cultural, historical and wildlife adventures. On the Kenyan side, visitors are likely to spend time in sprawling Nairobi, the setting of "Out of Africa," the autobiographical story of Karen Blixen's experiences in colonial East Africa. Nairobi National Park's animal orphanage allows visitors to see and even pat baby animals that have been orphaned by poaching or other tragic circumstances. Other parks include the Masai Mara, home to millions of Wildebeest at the northernmost point of the great migration; Amboseli, famous for its elephant herds; and gigantic Tsavo.

Along the coast, beautiful white-sand beaches and coral reefs beckon sun bathers and divers alike. From sailing on a dhow (a type of boat invented in the 8th century) around the historical island of Lamu to setting off on a camel safari in the desert north, the farther reaches of Kenya also have a lot to offer. A climb up Mt. Kenya, Africa's second highest peak, may entice some while an exploration of the mysterious Gedi ruins will attract the archaeologically minded.
